Rainford Precision Machines Ltd.
Machine & Cutting Tool Supplier UK & Ireland
Our Story
Established in 1991 by Arthur and Pauline Turner, Rainford Precision Machines has built a strong reputation for supplying world-class machinery and precision cutting tools to some of the most demanding sectors within high-precision engineering.
From the very beginning, our focus has been on providing customers with not only exceptional products, but also the specialist knowledge, technical support and personal service needed to help them achieve the highest standards of precision, productivity and performance.
Over more than three decades, Rainford has developed trusted relationships with leading manufacturers and engineering businesses across the UK, building a reputation founded on quality, technical expertise and long-term customer partnerships.
In May 2019, Miles Evans and Hazel Burgess took over the company, continuing the strong foundations established by Arthur and Pauline while bringing a clear vision for the future.
Since then, Rainford Precision Machines has continued to evolve, expanding its portfolio of world-leading machine tool and cutting tool technologies while strengthening the level of technical expertise and customer support we provide.
Today, we work with some of the most respected names in precision engineering, offering carefully selected technologies for applications where accuracy, reliability and performance are critical. Our portfolio spans advanced machining, ultra-precision manufacturing, EDM and specialist cutting tool solutions, allowing us to support customers across a wide range of demanding applications.
Our approach remains simple: understand our customers, provide the right technology and deliver a level of service that builds lasting partnerships.
As Rainford looks to the future, we remain committed to investing in our people, our technology and our relationships — continually seeking new ways to help our customers manufacture more accurately, more efficiently and with greater confidence.
Over 30 years of precision. Built on experience. Driven by innovation.
“Precision, accuracy, value and, above all, exceptional customer service are the key elements of the Rainford culture.”
Miles Evans, Managing Director
Striving for Quality and Repeatability
The company is committed to continual improvement and has invested significantly in a Digital Microscope with 100-1000x magnification for analysis of cutting tool wear patterns.

Testimonials
I would like to say thank you for your assistance so far. We have only drilled 4 x 0.80mm holes 50d deep but the fact they worked the first time was appreciated by everyone.
We use OSG mainly but when we have a specific job that needs doing, we come to Rainford Precision because they are and do the Crème De La Crème of Products and services.
The End Mill was an ideal choice due to the unusual shape and the need to have a small radius. They turned out great, and the surface finish is really good.
I would like to say thank you for the help you have given our project over the last few years. Your advice on the correct cutters plus the right speeds and feeds has not only helped with accuracy but brought the cycle times down so we can meet our project deadlines.
Thank you for making that so incredibly easy and prompt.
We received your delivery this morning as you had promised to do for us, thanks for that, it is great when a plan comes together.
A diamond service from Rainford as usual. The success of our company is very much down to the external support received from Key organisations such as Rainford Precision. Your company is one of the first I will always turn to assist us.
